I see that you have HTTP for [1] and [2] but HTTPS for [3].

For our wiki, when you have HTTP, you are not logged in; you can only
be logged in over an HTTPS connection.  (HTTP is aggressively cached,
HTTPS is never cached; session cookies are only over SSL so the
session can't be hijacked; some other reasons I forget. :) )

So, I clicked on [2] and am able to retrieve the page and be logged
in.

With [1] and [3] I am able to change the 'http' to 'https' and
retrieve the page and be logged in.

I also tried logging out of [3], then logging back in, and that
worked.

So, it's still possible that you are having a character encoding
issue, perhaps specific to a browser and a page.  But first I
recommend you rule out the HTTP/HTTPS confusion.
